Supervisor:

Department of Physics

Synopsis:

Lectures will be focused to Over Using Syndrome problems. Besides that, there will be discussed pain treatment for patients with cancer. A significant room will be dedicated to electrotherapy, physiotherapy and phototherapy. Also healing processes, organ conservation methods and progressive surgery methods will be spoken about. Students will also gain many practical knowledge via labs.

Requirements:

Assessment: attendance and activity during exercises.

Examination: Knowledge of material from lectures and exercises.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. The use of the electromagnetic field in medicine.

2. Physiotherapy.

3. Low frequency current electrotherapy.

4. High frequency current electrotherapy.

5. Phototherapy.

6. Magnetotherapy.

7. Optoscopy, bronchoscopy.

8. High frequency heating.

9. The physical influence to the healing process.

10. Cryogenic technics, organ conservation.

11. Electrocoagulation, cathetrisation.

12. Surgery lasers.

13. Progressive surgery methods.

14. Biochemical analytic methods.
